Stand Structure Alterations in Forest Stands [PDF]
JOJ Horticulture & Arboriculture, 2018 Forest stands are usually classified according to regime (high forest or coppice), structure (even-aged or uneven-aged) and composition (pure or mixed). Through time there were shifts between the preferred stand structure frequently due to the desired productions; coppices for small dimension timber and high forest for large dimension ones, pure even ...

Estimating Ladder Fuels: A New Approach Combining Field Photography with LiDAR
Remote Sensing, 2016 Forests historically associated with frequent fire have changed dramatically due to fire suppression and past harvesting over the last century. The buildup of ladder fuels, which carry fire from the surface of the forest floor to tree crowns, is one of ...

Estimating Tree Volume Distributions in Subtropical Forests Using Airborne LiDAR Data
Remote Sensing, 2019 Accurate and reliable information on tree volume distributions, which describe tree frequencies in volume classes, plays a key role in guiding timber harvest, managing carbon budgets, and supplying ecosystem services. Airborne Light Detection and Ranging

Forest Structure in Low-Diversity Tropical Forests: A Study of Hawaiian Wet and Dry Forests
PLoS ONE, 2014 The potential influence of diversity on ecosystem structure and function remains a topic of significant debate, especially for tropical forests where diversity can range widely. We used Center for Tropical Forest Science (CTFS) methodology to establish forest dynamics plots in montane wet forest and lowland dry forest on Hawai'i Island. We compared the

Forest community survey and the structural characteristics of forests in China
Ecography, 2012 Most of the world’s terrestrial biome types can be found in China. To systematically investigate species composition and structure of China’s forest communities, we launched a long‐term project consisting forest vegetation surveys across China’s mountains in the mid 1990s. Over the study period, we have conducted vegetation surveys for 65 mountains and

Forest typological structure of oak forests of volyn height
Forestry, Forest, Paper and Woodworking Industry, 2018 Oak (Quercus robur L.) is one of the most common and valuable tree species in the Western Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Much of the oak forests of the Western Forest-Steppe are concentrated in the forest district of Volyn Upland, which, despite belonging to the Western Ukrainian Forest-Steppe Forest District, is characterized by special geomorphological ...
